Charming way of making money ?????
Snake charmers and monkey keepers are not unusuall on Sri Lanka. Its great fun! But dont forget the charmer/keeper wants money. They are making their living this way! How much? Depends on the keeper and you. AND dont forget the animals dont allways live under the best conditions. In Pinnawela a man had a snake and my mom had it around her neck. That was a nice experiance for her, so we made some pics and gave the man some tips. But when in Koggala I saw a boy walking up and down the hot beach for hours every day whit his animals. (a monkey, and 2 snakes) I talked to the boy and he told me that, as long as tourist take pictures and as long as he can make money, he will work like this. Maybe its better not to take pictures???? Its up to you. I didnt take any more pictures. I gave the monkey some food and water.
